ACA Allertor Oak Park Heights Minnesota

Here is My Video From Oak Park Height

[@Snowcube]

By the time that thing finishes winding up the tornado will have already hit.

[@stephensnell1379]

@CWM030 Everything will wear out over time It doesn't last forever nothing lasts forever

[@borkluchtalarm]

Yup.

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

LOL

[@SirenArchives]

May I use this for a compilation video? I'll link your video in my description and provide an updated watermark.

[@tehoulvoboy777]

VEEERYYYY LONG WINDUP

[@mattmakesmachines]

It sounds like it has a dead starting capacitor Also they draw a LOT of current when starting without a starting capacitor so it takes forever to wind up but it still gets up to decent pitch

[@deathvalley006]

The most sick allertor I have ever heard.

[@SirensOfTheMidwest]

Its probably severely underpowered or the brushes are completely dead on the motor.

[@chrimuh_hy]

0:35 The Tornado Sirens is tired because he's been sleeping for a while 😂😂😂😂😂

[@finneganthao9164]

LOL

[@NoahPowell-et1mq]

[@thecranfillscraft5692]

Why is the Allertor 125 spinning slower

[@OWS_Crazy1]

2:22 it started boosting up and sounding better

[@stephensnell5707]

Even at full speed it still sounds in an awful state

[@OWS_Crazy1]

Indeed

[@blockthesirenenthusiast]

When it's done winding up, it sounds like a 15/20 decot running at 1750RPM.

[@AveryatTwoohFive]

sound like the THX intro

[@ryematthewcalumpang7231]

How my toilet sounds when it flushes 0:38

[@thecranfillscraft5692]

This Allertor 125 was replaced by a 2001-130

[@scienceguy722]

I think my toilet is having problems again.

[@Midwest_Sirens]

HA HA maybe it is clogged

[@414Citrus]

Mine is too I think the sewer is broken. Lol

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

This toilet was replaced with a trash can

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

Someone peed in it

[@ballsacksniffer420]

" hey plumber, my toilet suddenly turned into a gaint yellow one and it wont stop making this ear piercing noise"

[@constilaitons]

The tornado siren: takes so long The tornado: … When is is going to start? Tornado siren: still winding up Tornado: alr ima head out of Minnesota bye bye Tornado siren: shuts down Bam everyone saved 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@garyhisgun4996]

So this is what it would sound like if it was able to run off a home outlet or home electric current

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Pretty much.

[@awesomegaming8617]

Except you would either pop your breaker/house fuse or set your house on fire for causing the electrical wiring in your household to start glowing hot. Now that wouldn't sound good with your insurance! LOL. Edit: I know there's probably safer ways to do it, I just wouldn't trust plugging it directly into a 120 volt receptacle, whether or not it would be just fine, for me it's just a safety hazard, but hey! What else would you plug it into? A dryer outlet?

[@railfanbb4223]

Insurance conversation be like: “Uhh yes my house burned down because of a Aca allertor”

[@J19_vlogger74]

@@awesomegaming8617 I might just be stupid, but I'm pretty sure these run on 3-phase, meaning you'd need special equipment to run it from household power.

[@UberLukario]

A windup longer than a Sentry 40V20. Now that's something you don't see every day.

[@Bus-8076]

If you put the entire video to 2X speed, Then you'll be able to realize how the thing fades from stillness to quickly rotating...

[@Bus-8076]

But it is a very slow process indeed

[@iangilldjsuperdude]

That chopper motor though that’s nice. Hopefully someone will fix the entire siren.

[@LZGAjeepslav799]

Sounds like the start capacitor is shot and the run capacitor has to do all the work. The run cap can’t pull the motor up to speed from a stop because it’s not supposed to. Not good on the run cap, motor or rotation mechanism.

[@Pkmn_mlp_sonic_fnaf_fan]

That windup sounds like an inline 4

[@Ziggy_Kit0]

That chopper motor though that's nice. Hopefully someone will fix the entire siren. when siren turn on 0:35

[@BleedingBug]

What Harrymatins OMG IS REAL

[@BleedingBug]

Oh not real 😞

[@WisconsinSirens]

underpowered af

[@SWMOWoodsman]

ItzSuper Not underpowered. Phase converter is bad

[@childishtombino1275]

It seems to be the Start Cap in the motor starter that is causing this. Meaning this siren is Single phase (fyi)

[@SWMOWoodsman]

Mr.Someone \Tom/ This siren is actually three phase, it's just running off of a phase converter. The phase converter is starting to go bad. If it were single phase, the start/run capacitors wouldn't get it up to speed like it does in this video

[@childishtombino1275]

Okay, that makes sense. I didn't take into mind the fact that the Run cycle was non-existent, it was just start. So a dodgy phase converter makes sense

[@WisconsinSirens]

I've seen this one in person it is single phase.

[@lynnjohnson2482]

That siren hasn't had it's coffee yet.

[@jamesackley1058]

That siren sounds sick.

[@paulsmith5398]

First time i saw one of those, i thought, "damn!, thats one freaky, scary looking contraption! Took me a while to determine it was a tornado siren. And yes, that one has a very looooonnnnnnggggg windup, like the motor start capacitor isnt working.

[@stephensnell5707]

More than likely it has a starting Capacitor that is blown entirely⚠️

[@paulsmith5398]

@@stephensnell5707 yeah, a start capacitor is probably much cheaper to replace than the whole, complete weird-looking Allertor, ive only seen two of them in my lifetime, until i started watching KZbin. But one of them was in Canada, so it may have been a B & N Mobil Directo, the other was in Hillsboro Illinois.

[@ThunderSR]

0:39 my pc when play rtx :

[@awesomegaming8617]

Is this Allertor still up today? Fixed? Or was it eventually replaced?

[@Technicalgee]

That is the slowest wind up of a siren I’ve ever heard

[@elevatorssirensofmsp248]

Jeez, that thing is sluggish. Nice video anyways!

[@stephensnell5707]

You are totally true there

[@theblackmesaresearchfacili1079]

The windup took way too long, somebody should fix that

[@AWT5020]

It winds-down faster than it winds-up lol

[@susansorrentino6130]

0:31 FREAKKING SIREN AINT U GOING TO GO OFF

[@EASsirenVids01]

It sounds like this has a 15 HP motor but just won’t show itself.

[@MatthewKehn187]

That sounds like the siren that uwtitanfan recorded back in 2007!

[@PeachtreeSirens]

Nice recording. That phase converter needs to get jettisoned pronto...sadly I'm sure the siren will go with it. To be fair, the rotation seems a bit jerky too...there's more than one issue to be fixed here.

[@Jhihmoac]

Peachtree Sirens - You're probably right, and since everyone's thinking economics and efficiency for the buck these days, odds are they will go totally solid state... Modular, easier to replace, and one can actually _SPEAK_ through those as well!

[@freebrickproductions]

Jeez, how long was that wind-up? Great video!

[@Bzons]

ikr

[@Tractorandsirens]

Probably a min and a half

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

Ikr

[@tsiren918sirensofoklahomas4]

B&N Bobil Directo Siren Such As CLM Siren Like ACA Alertor-125 Siren

[@Bzons]

True.

[@maxidudeldemesa8953]

Btw that ACA allertor is an slow motion machine bruh

[@IceBotYT]

THAT WINDUP THO

[@GabesElectronics]

that siren is sick I think

[@the_real_drwhoroblox1935]

0:35-1:05 I wish diesel engines sounded like that. (BEFORE YOU EVEN TELL ME, I KNOW ITS ACTUALLY AN ALLERTOR)

[@the_real_drwhoroblox1935]

Hmm ok

[@DatamasterCorporation]

Is this on only 120 volts or is the siren just going bad?

[@J19_vlogger74]

Probably the siren. I'm almost sure these things run on 3-phase.

[@tornadosirenroubik4124]

sick allertor

[@StocktonSubber]

Yep

[@StocktonSubber]

Must be a sick allertor

[@DuckboyTheDuck]

It sounds like when somebody tries to start one of those up manually with a drill...

[@djfrancis5205]

true tho

[@kshamonroe6703]

the rev up almost sounds like a speeding car

[@kathleenbluder71]

They have tornado sirens in Michigan and aca allorter

[@Bolarcamera]

ot stared boosting up and sounding better

[@PINKBOY1006]

Start caps are toast!

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

PINKBOY1006 no it's the phase converter that's toast

[@deaderthandead1182]

Elizabeth_958 It’s not on a phase converter.

[@fredlohmann1448]

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!

[@TheNextElectron]

Rip start capacitor

[@awesomegaming8617]

What the heck? I haven't heard an allertor that sick since that one in Manty Wisconsin that eventually got replaced! I wonder why it's so underpowered? Depending whether it's at an A series or B series, it's either a phase is open or a capacitor is bad, but the capacitor could go bad in either type of alertor if I'm not mistaken. There's a chance too the motor could be dying but I'm not positive afar what it would sound like then.

[@ArxCyberwolfPC]

Allertors don't have series, and three phase units don't have capacitors. This is a single phase unit with absolutely screwed caps.

[@awesomegaming8617]

@@ArxCyberwolfPC The three phase units really don't have caps? That's interesting, I figured it was some kind of capacitor fault, I wasn't sure if it was a single phase or not until now looking back. Anyway, thanks for the info!

[@WisconsinSirens]

Siren has been replaced with a 2001-130.

[@MNsportsnut]

I think the 2001-130 that replaced this is in Attack instead of Alert.

[@WisconsinSirens]

MNsportsnut I’ll go check it out

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

Wisconsin Sirens Damn..

[@lacrossewieas2411]

Happy 800 subs man!

[@shedemonandrea5963]

That's pretty sick. But, Mr Siren, WAKE UP FASTER OR ELSE MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE!

[@stephensnell1379]

It cannot be helped Everything including Tornado sirens etc will gradually become slow and sluggish and eventually will fail completely in time

[@williammchale5356]

Somethings wrong, doesn't start up fast enough and doesn't run at proper volume, lagging.

[@czarinaatilano5488]

this allertor kinda reminds me of the allertor that got struck by lightning 7 times and got burnt motor coils AND reversed wired so its QUIET quiet

[@TommyFenstermacher5150]

Looks like a big ol' turbocharger. Seems like it suffers from some "turbo lag" 😂 Jokes aside, this thing takes AGES to wind up, good grief!

[@iowansirenrecordings2454]

Who thought it was a good idea, to throw the bearings in a wood chipper?

[@paulsmith5398]

Maybe a 10 hp go-cart engine would help it get up to full power!?!?

[@soum23]

Where is this?

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

Oak Park Heights by the police dept

[@SunsetfearOFFICIAL]

it puts me in thinking why would any company make a siren to look like a toilet

[@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens]

Really slow windup, probably why this siren got replaced

[@ianssirenproductions]

Rotator seems messed up

[@BleedingBug]

Sick Allertor😁

[@matthewdempsey6583]

sounds like a briggs and stratton two stroke lawnmower

[@paulsmith5398]

Ive got a Briggs and Stratton 2-stroke snowblower, it sucks, compared to the Tecumseh powered ones..........

[@Omegadoomship]

Almost sounds like it's wired at half voltage.

[@YourAverageMODude145]

is it ok?

[@Aegis2056]

That thing needs a new chopper motor for sure.

[@stephensnell1379]

Sure does as its having trouble turning

[@Theiron62]

Sounds like it was in reversed

[@chara9201]

This tornado siren is tired and sick

[@VonnaWasser]

I think the video is in reverse And plus It Spinning the opposite way it suppose to spin that way not that way

[@saeedharib5902]

Wait what that siren sounds Weird

[@punkinmonk]

0:34 is when it starts

[@gertahasan]

Q 1:45

[@levigaming-1]

Sick? Or underpowered?

[@zethsardana2917]

Definitely both the chopper and rotor might be rusted and very old

[@supercoolguynoob9477]

It takes it a long time to wind up

Oof she's sick.
